integration tests (which can be trickier when it requires a hardware test bed.)
I use this as a fizzbuzz-type test when I'm interviewing at hardware companies: do they have development hardware in a rack with programmable power supplies and mini-PCs (or similar)? It's a low, low bar for testing, and rules surprisingly many companies.
They'll often just have The Guy running manual tests instead.
- voakbasda 2mo agoWow. I’d kill for even a guy running my hardware tests. Most of my jobs barely seem to leave time to write the code, before it needs to be scraped off my monitor and poured into the customer’s systems. The ones like you describe with actual hardware labs are a dream when contrasted to those nightmares.
- Karrot_Kream 2mo agoDoes management sell unrealistic deadlines to the vendors that buy your solutions? Are you bound by impossible support contracts? Did the firm just let go of a lot of people and expect everyone to finish work quickly? Curious how the economic/management pressures here work as I abandoned hardware very early in my career (from an internship) for similar reasons.
